Art Through Perera

Maarten Perera, a contemporary Canadian visual artist that uses mixed media to convey his personal journey. His differences made him stronger. Dyslexic, ethnic, gay, he shares his marginal voice, which screams loudly from the canvas for his audience. This vibrant style can be found in many private collections world wide. "I grew stronger because of my diversity and I am forever grateful for that."

Rich in story-telling and strong in colour, Perera uses mixed media and often wordage to convey his tale.  The palette is lucid and free.  Fundamentally, Perera demonstrates the viewpoint of an outsider fitting into society.  Being a visible minority and spending much of his life assisting marginal populations, Perera believes we all have the right to see, to hear and to speak. 

"I am passionate, wait a minute, let me say obssessive about my art, my voice my life.  My images are 'slices of life' seen through my eyes."
